"Thanks for driving me back here," Kimberly stated.

Tommy was worried because she had been training around the clock without any rest. Earlier that day, the rangers had to fight a lot of monsters. After the fight, Kimberly fainted in his arms. "Kim are you sure that you're going to be okay? he asked with a concern. "I can stay if you want." His fingers were crossed that she'd say yes.

"I'll be fine," Kimberly answered, trying her best to sound convincing. "Ernie is going to let me lock up and practice."

"Call me if you change your mind and want me to come stay with you and if you want me to pick you up," replied Tommy.

She kissed him on the cheek. "I will," promised Kimberly as she got out of his truck.

As he watched her go into the youth center, he had a strong feeling inside of him telling him not to leave. He tried to call Ernie on his cell phone, but he just got the answering machine. Tommy parked his truck and walked into the youth center.

Kimberly's stomach was growling. "Tara, I'm so hungry," she said weakly as she watched Tara practice.

"You can't compete at this level?" Tara remarked as she got up on the balance beam. "I don't have time to babysit you or hear you complain. Go get water or something."

She dropped to her knees as she started panting. "You need to toughen up," Coach Schmidt remarked. "What's wrong with you? For a while you were one of my best athletes. Now you are complaining just because you are hungry. If you eat, you'll put on extra weight."

Tommy walked into the youth center and heard Coach Schmidt yelling. What was he doing there? Kimberly didn't say anything about Coach Schmidt coming there. All she said was that she was going to practice.

"Tara, you are doing so good, do you feel like a champion?!"

"You bet!"

"Tara at this rate you'll make it through the divisional round!"

He watched Tara perform well on the balance beam. Why was Tara there? She rarely practiced in the youth center. "Good job, Tara!" Coach Schmidt praised as he watched her do a backwards summersault and a cartwheel. She got off the balance beam and grabbed her stuff and walked out of the youth center.

Were his eyes playing a trick on him or was Kimberly wearing black instead of pink? She appeared to be weak, skinner, and depressed. His heart started racing as he watched her fall on the balance beam.

"CAN'T YOU DO ANY BETTER THAN THAT!" yelled Coach Schmidt. "GET BACK ON THE BALANCE BEAM AND DO A CARTWHEEL! AND NO FALLING OFF THIS TIME!"

Kimberly got back on the balance beam and looked very wobbly and looked like she was going to fall. Tommy broke out in a run. "Kimberly, don't do it!" Kimberly noticed Tommy was running towards hers as she was losing her balance. She began to feel dizzy and her eyes slowly closed as she fell on the mat.

Tommy walked back into the waiting room after buying a cute white teddy bear from the hospital's gift shop. Taking a seat in the chair, he began to get drowsy. "How much longer?" he asked himself after looking up at the clock and seeing that it had two hours since Kimberly was admitted into the hospital.

Jan Oliver came walking into the room, as she watched her son trying to stay awake. She hoped that it would cheer her son up when she told him that Kimberly was resting in her room and he could stay with her. "She's in room 204," Jan stated after watching her son begin to drift off to sleep.

"Is she okay?"

"She hurt her ankle when she fell and she is really thin," Jan whispered. "You can go see her."

Not wanting to wait any longer, he quickly got up and followed his mother to Kimberly's room. Kimberly was resting comfortably, unaware that she had any visitors. Tommy laid the white teddy bear by her side and pulled up a chair next to the bed. He rested his head on Kimberly's bed and drifted off to sleep.

Kimberly was released from the hospital the following day and she had orders to not attend gymnastics practice until her ankle was better. Things couldn't get any worse until Bulk and Skull found out some information.

"Why are you two dressed like Scurlock Homes?" Ernie questioned as he watched Bulk and Skull walk around the room dressed in their police uniforms, detective coats and hats. "Shouldn't you be getting ready for class?"

"We are tracking down a spy," Bulk said while he was using a magnified glass class to lock for finger prints on the wall. "We believe we know who the spy is. He was here recently."

"Here we go again," Ernie remarked as he went back into the kitchen. "I promise you that the police have this under control."

Tommy, Kimberly, Rocky, Adam, Aisha, and Billy were all sitting at a table doing their homework while they were waiting for Ernie to bring out a freshly baked pizza. They could already smell the delicious pizza from their table.

"I love the idea that you recommended that we order pizza for lunch," Rocky said as his mouth began to water. "We should do this more often."

Kimberly looked down at her thin frame and her stomach was growling from hunger. She was trying to be careful not to put on weight while she wasn't able to practice. "I'm not hungry," she lied while putting her books away.

"Kim, what's going on?" Tommy questioned as he watched her stare down at her thin body. "I think you are hiding something."

She never asked him why he was at youth center that night because all she could think about was pleasing the coach and practice. What if he had seen what took place that night? "You are making me feel guilty because we haven't gotten to spend much time together!" she yelled angrily.

"He's wanting to make it up to you," Aisha interrupted as she noticed everyone in the youth center was staring at them. "He has ordered a pizza."

"I've already ate," Kimberly lied as Ernie was bringing out a cake. "Did you order a cake too?"

"No, he didn't order a cake," declared Adam as he stood up and saw there was a skate board in the way. "Ernie look out!"

Ernie didn't see the skate board in time and the cake went flying and it landed on Gunther Schmidt. Everyone began to laugh as he began to wipe the cake out of his face. Bulk and Skull even had a camera and the ended up taking pictures of the scene.

"Kim, you're scaring me and I know you are hiding something," Tommy stuttered as his eye locked on the man he hated. "You're falling asleep in class and you've passed on me twice." He watched as Ernie bring Coach Schmidt a wet dish cloth to wipe his face off. If he was Ernie, he would send the coach out the door and let the ants crawl over him.

"Just so you know, I don't hide things from you," Kimberly promised Tommy as her eyes began to get watery. "You just don't understand."

"Understand what?" Tommy questioned as he walked over to her. "All I know is that you are hiding something."

"You've said that twice now! And I not hiding anything," she repeated as he wrapped his arms around her. "It's just..."

"Just what?" Tommy questioned while he looked down into her doe eyes. "And don't tell me it doesn't matter, because it does."

"I'm really sorry, Tommy," Kimberly apologized as tears began to pour down her face. "This training has been really hard. It's not going to last forever."

"Kim, you've always been there for me. I'm worried about our relationship and I'm losing..." he paused because he was getting ready to reveal his secret that no one knew. His heart began to pound as he searched for the right words to say. "I'm losing my best friend and the girl I love."

Did she misunderstand something or did Tommy just tell her that he loved her? Her heart began to pound as soon as she heard those words. It just so happened that she loved him too and was scared to say anything.

After getting cleaned up, Coach Schmidt headed back to the youth center. A grin appeared on his face began to unwrap his peanut butter sandwich. He had seen a list posted on Ernie bulletin board with students with food allergies. Tommy was on the list and was highly allergic to peanuts and Kimberly was allergic to almonds.

Tommy started coughing and dropped to his knees. "Tommy what happened?" Kimberly asked in a concerned voiced. His face was pale and he looked dizzy.

"I... can't...breath," Tommy coughed as his face was beginning to swell. "I... had. a ...reaction...from..." His eyes closed and he passed out.

Kimberly quickly opened her book bag and got out her adrenaline (epinephrine) injection pen and inhaler. As fear was running through her body, she kneeled next to Tommy and gave him a shot. "Tommy, please be okay," prayed Kimberly as tears ran down her cheeks while he was breathing through her inhaler.

Her tears landed on Tommy's face and he slowly opened his eyes. "You saved me," Tommy said as he gave a weak smile. "Thank you."

"Tommy, I love you," Kimberly smiled as she wiped her face and Tommy pulled her into a tight hug.

"I don't understand who would have purposely done this," Kimberly said as she gave him a peck on the cheek. "Ernie knows you are allergic to peanuts and our friends and teachers know it too."

As Tommy helped Kimberly up, he saw Coach Schmidt pull out his cellphone and leave. His sandwich hit the floor and there wasn't a bite taken out of it. This was his chance to prove Coach Schmidt's true colors. Tommy quickly grabbed Kimberly's hand and they followed him out the door.
